I am looking to build a new PC for the primary purposes of gaming and casual use.
It will be made from new parts and some recycled parts, which are now 2 years old.
Here's my current build plan:
Fractal Design Define R5 ATX Midtower
Corsair CX750M 750watt PSU
ASUS Z97-PRO Gamer S1150 ATX
Intel quadcore i5 4590 (3.3ghz) - (recycled, 2 years old)
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO
Windows 10 Home 64
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2x4GB - (recycled, 2 years old)
GTX 1070 (undecided)
1x 250GB SSD, 2x 1TB HDD storage (recycled, 2 years old)
Here are my main questions:
Will the i5 4590 cpu bottleneck a GTX 1070 gpu?
Will its age & use with a factory cooler likely cause reliability issues?
What is your preferred GTX 1070 aftermarket brand?
I much prefer the blower styled models such as the ASUS Turbo and MSi Aero, as I feel the red streaks and X's on many of the Open Air aftermarket cards are just marketing distractions. However I am concerned with the blower style temperatures. This leads me to lean towards an ASUS Strix O8G.
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
